My top impact rookies at each position

Every year you have rookies that come in and you know that you are getting a guy that will be a top notch player for years to come.You have the big names like Andrew Luck, RGlll, and Trent Richardson.Then you have guys that fly a little under the radar but had huge rookie seasons like Doug Martin, Luke Kuechly, and Harrison Smith. You also have guys that get drafted later or even go undrafted but come in and have a big impact on their team. These are guys like Casey Hayward, Russell Wilson, T.Y. Hilton, and Alfred Morris. And these are all examples just from the 2012 draft. So without further notice here are my picks on the top impact rookies at each position.

QB- E.J. Manuel (Buffalo Bills)
        We all know this was a weak draft class in the way of QB's. In fact it could end up that there are no rookie starting QB's in week one. But, I believe when the Bills drafted Manuel with the 16 overall pick he was gonna step in and become their starter. He knows how to move an offense down the field and can be a duel-threat with his running ability. He is also very efficient as he completed almost 67% of his college pass attempts. I believe he will get the week one nod and fit comfortably into the Bills new offensive scheme.

RB- Ed Lacy (Green Bay Packers)
        Some might think this a surprising selection but I believe Lacy will be a big part of the Packers offense. They finally have a guy they can give it to on the goal line and punch it in. Also even for how big he is, he is very shifty in open space and I expect the Packers to run a lot of draws and screens with him. His pass catching is very underrated as he had 22 catches last year and the packers RB's had 40 catches last year. Also when they need to run some clock or throw defenses off their pass game, just hand it to lacy up the middle and he will get you solid yards after contact.

WR- Tavon Austin (St. Louis Rams)
         Austin will be one of the most explosive players in the league and he will get the ball many different ways in the rams offense. Look for the rams to throw, him the ball on screens and on deep routes as he will outrun most DB's. Look him to get touches on end-arounds and even direct snaps. Also, he will have a big impact in the return game. This guy ran a 4.34 at the combine and had nearly 3000 all purpose yards in his senior season, including 572 in one game against Oklahoma. That game he not only caught 4 passes for 82 yards he had 21 CARRIES for 344 yards and 2 TD's; that's over 16 ypc!!!! Look for him to do the same in his rookie season.

TE- Tyler Eifert (Cincinnati Bengals)
        I know the Bengals already have Jermaine Gresham but he has not really shown me all that much in his short NFL career. Eifert is a huge target at 6'6 and 251 lbs who also ran the 40 in 4.68 seconds. He had 50 catches for almost 700 yards and 4 TD's last year. He is a good blocker and can also line up wide and is a nightmare match up for any CB. Look for him to get a ton of end zone targets when the defense is focused on AJ Green.

OT- Lane Johnson (Philadelphia Eagles)
        Johnson is a monster in the trenches at 6'6 and 303 lbs. He will be a big part of the eagles rushing attack under Chip Kelly. He will b able to clear the edges for McCoy as is very quick for his size, evident by a 4.72 40. He will also be very good in pass protection, which is essential in keeping QB Mike Vick healthy.

OG- Chance Warmack (Tennessee Titans)
        He is a big part of all the success that Alabama and their RB's have had over the past 3 seasons. He has a very high motor and works hard on every play. He is a monster in clearing space and should help Chris Johnson get back to what he used to be.

C- Travis Frederick (Dallas Cowboys)
     A versatile lineman in college playing both center and guard. Is a very smart player and is a good puller to get to outside blocks.

DE- Ziggy Ansah (Detroit Lions)
        In his one season as a full-time starter, Ansah tallied 62 tackles, 13 for loss, including 4.5 sacks. To go along with 9 pass breakups and one interception. He is a freak athlete who tried out for the basketball team at BYU and is 6'5 270 lbs. He is raw but, with elite athleticism he should make an immediate impact.

DT- John Jenkins (New Orleans Saints)
        Jenkins is a rock in the middle of the defense at 6'4 and 346 lbs. He was constantly in the backfield last year stopping RB's in their tracks. I ,know that everybody will still try to throw against the saints but when they run Jenkins will be there to stop it

LB- Jarvis Jones (Pittsburgh Steelers)
       While Jones is more of an outside linebacker and Jadeveon Clowney was a DE, Clowney got all the hype while Jones very quietly had just as good of a season. He 24.5 TFL, 14.5 sacks, and 7 forced fumbles. While Clowney had 23.5 TFL, 13 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. Jones will be a great rusher from the outside in the steelers heavy blitzing defense. I predict he will have double digit sacks this year.

CB- Dee Milliner (New York Jets)
        Milliner was a lock down corner at Alabama and he will be the same in the NFL. Sure he wont be as good as Revis was but he will be a top corner in years to come. Last year at Alabama he had 54 tackles with 2 interceptions and a country leading 22 passes defended. He can really tackle for a corner and I think the play in the first game against Michigan shows what he can do. He pressed the WR threw him out of bounds, ran his route, and picked off the pass.

SS- Kenny Vaccaro (New Orleans Saints)
       Vaccaro flies around the field and really has a nose for the ball. He crushes defenders with punishing hits and really supports the run well and does not miss many tackles. Last year he had 92 tackles including 4.5 for losses, to go along with 2 picks, 7 passes defended, and 2 forced fumbles. He is the type of ball hawk this Saints secondary needed and he will produce just like Harrison Smith did this year with the Vikings.

FS- Eric Reid (San Francisco 49ers)
       Reid will step in and replace Da'shon Goldson who was a solid player the past few season for the 49ers. He had 91 tackles and 2 picks last year at LSU and lays punishing hits on defenders which fits him right in with the rest of the 49ers tough defense.

All Around- Tyrann Mathieu (Arizona Cardinals)
       Mathieu is always where the ball is and is a big play waiting to happen on defense and in the return game. He will most likely play as the nickel back this year with the Cardinals and that is the perfect position for him. I know he did not play last year but in 2011 he had 76 tackles, 7.5 TFL, 1.5 sacks, 2 interceptions, 11 passes defended, 6 forced fumbles, 4 fumble recoveries, and 2 defensive TD's. Not to mention over 400 yards and 2 TD's in the return game. He is just a play maker, its that simple. While he wont see as mush action in the return game with Patrick Peterson handling those duties, he will make his impact on defense. And I don't think his character will be an issue with a good friend in Peterson there to mentor him.
